I use it to monitor about 60 systems, mostly Linux RH 7.3/8.0/9.0/Fedora/RHEL3, with a couple of WinXP, Cisco, and miscellaneous boxes thrown in for variety. I've extended the system to monitor total processes, disk space, load, and a few other details with perl scripts and once it's all set up it's very reliable.
